Circa 1894. The lush woodwork and fine finishings of this restored Queen Ann Victorian are polished to a shine. Underneath an antique chandelier in the dining room, the inn’s gourmet breakfasts are presented though you may also enjoy it on the inn’s porch or in your room. Murder Mysteries, complete with dinner, are one of the special packages offered by the innkeepers. This is a popular stay for theater groups and girlfriend getaways with the spacious common areas, fireplaces and accommodating and delicious breakfasts. (The innkeeper has authored a cookbook.) The Performing Arts Center is within walking distance.
